Can low electrolytes cause troponin levels to elevate and cause chest pains? And what caused low electrolytes?

I'm a 61 yr old female admitted to the hospital with chest pains. Ekg, cardiac enzymes were normal initially, the only concern was my electrolytes, potassium and magnesium levels were low. Four hours later, my troponin levels became elevated and continued to rise. A cardiac catherization was performed, which showed no blockages or heart damage, I was dischaged. 10 days later, the chest pains returned, I was seen in the E.R, my troponin level climbed to 11. I was dischaged with a level of 10. The next day I had a stress test, which was normal. My doctor told me that if I hadn't passed the stress test, they would have done another catherization.
I am scheduled for an echocardiogram and holter monitor in 3 weeks. Has anyone has a similar problem? Please let me know.

False +ve are due to kidney diseases, if the kidney is involved and loss of magnesium ions can also give false readings.
This is all for the moment, there is difference between theory and practical approach.
